Occurrences

The Energizers registered their first franchise victory on February 27, scoring a 90-89 overtime win over Sta.Lucia, it was soon reversed when it was found out their rookie center, 18-year-old Kerby Raymundo had deficiency in academic credentials and ineligible to play in the pro league until next year, the PBA therefore forfeited two of their victories, including a repeat won game over Sta.Lucia on March 18 in Davao City.
